WELCOME TO THE PARROT REPEATER OPERATED BY CHRIS VK2CJB.
CONTACT EMAIL CHRIS.J.BAIRD AT GMAIL.COM

THIS STATION IS OPERATING FROM ELLALONG QF57PC. THE TRANSCEIVER
IS AN FT-818 TRANSMITTING AT 6 WATTS, THROUGH A 5/8 VERTICAL
WHIP ANTENNA.

THE "PARROT" SOFTWARE IS A BASH SCRIPT RUNNING ON A LINUX
LAPTOP. THE SCRIPT USES MY OWN AUDIO CAPTURE UTILITY,
MULTIMON-NG FOR THE DTMF DECODING, MINIMODEM FOR THE AFSK
GENERATION, AND THE PYSSTV PYTHON MODULE. IT'S FREE FOR THE
ASKING! I'M ALSO TAKING SUGGESTIONS FOR MORE FEATURES.

DTMF COMMANDS CURRENTLY SUPPORTED:

   1 - ANNOUNCES THE DATE AND TIME (POORLY..)
 300 - 50 LINES FROM AN WIA NEWS TEXT AT 300 BAUD AFSK
1200 - 200 LINES FROM AN WIA NEWS TEXT AT 1200 BAUD AFSK
  18 - "R" - THIS RTTY MESSAGE
  19 - "S" - SSTV NEWS
  20 - SSTV IMAGE GALLERY

THE SSTV IMAGES HAVE SCOTTIE-S1 ENCODING, AND OF COURSE YOU
SHOULD AT LEAST IDENTIFY YOURSELF WHEN SENDING A DTMF COMMAND.

ALL REPEATED OVERS ARE ARCHIVED AS MP3 FILES, CONCEIVABLY FOR
AVAILABILITY ONLINE IF I GET A WEB-SERVER HAPPENING.

YES, YOU COULD ATTEMPT TO USE THIS AS AN ALL-MODE REPEATER!
(NOT THAT THE STATION CURRENTLY HAS A GOOD LOCATION FOR BEING
ONE..)

ENJOY,
VK2CJB
